July 5th, 1999: New WWF Champion "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is slated for a rematch with The Undertaker at "Fully Loaded," and a tempting offer from Vince McMahon ups the stakes of the match even further. In our main event, The Rock and Triple-H look to settle their differences inside of a Steel Cage! WWF Tag Team Champions The Acolytes put their titles on the line against the up-and-coming Hardy Boyz. "The Road Dogg" Jesse James goes one-on-one with Val Venis... until one of them gets arrested. The Big Show & Hardcore Holly face Kane in a 2-on-1 Handicap Match, but "The Big Red Machine" doesn't appear to be all that fazed by those odds. Gangrel squares off with The Godfather, who has Droz & Prince Albert acting as his Hoes for the night. Jeff Jarrett defends his WWF Intercontinental Title against Chaz (yes, that's right -- Chaz has somehow earned a title shot). Reigning King of the Ring Billy Gunn looks to get back on track with a win against Meat. Test's rivalry with Shane McMahon and The Mean Street Posse continues to escalate as he steps into the ring with Joey Abs. The Big Boss Man was riding high last week when he rejoined The Corporate Ministry, but can he carry that momentum into his match against Edge? Al Snow puts his WWF Hardcore Title on the line against D'Lo Brown. Plus, GTV strikes again, Chyna claims that DX has vandalized her rental car, and Amy Dumas (the future Lita) makes her first appearance in The WWF!

Meanwhile over on "Nitro," Bret Hart speaks for the first time since his brother Owen's death, and Goldberg makes his grand return at a Megadeth concert!

Episode 81: The Hardy Boyz Win Their First Titles!

July 12th, 1999: Before the Steve Austin / Undertaker match at "Fully Loaded" can become official, a contract must be finalized.... and Vince McMahon signs it in Austin's blood! But later on, an angry "Stone Cold" looks for some vengeance as he teams up with The Big Show to face The Undertaker and his brother Kane. In one of the most shocking moments we've seen on "Raw" in months, Shane McMahon's attempt to humble Test goes horribly wrong when an unintended victim gets injured. Triple-H, Billy Gunn, and Chyna face "The Road Dogg," X-Pac, and a very electrifying replacement in a six-person tag match. In their first Tag Team Title defense, The Hardy Boyz defend their newly-won belts against The Godfather & Val Venis. After turning his back on Edge last week, Gangrel must now face him in a match tonight on "Raw," and the finish is quite a spectacle. WWF Intercontinental Champion Jeff Jarrett is set for some promo time, but he gets interrupted by an unexpected visitor. After losing their Tag Team Titles last week, the pissed-off Acolytes decide to take out their frustrations on an unlikely wrestler. Darren Drozdov issues an open challenge for an Evening Gown Match because sometimes you just have to kill five minutes of television time. Plus, the acting Governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura is set to return to the WWF after a nine-year absence, the Countdown to the Millennium is on, and The Rock cuts a hilarious promo on Billy Gunn!

Meanwhile on "Nitro," new World Champion Randy Savage is immediately dethroned by the freshly-face-turned Hulk Hogan!

Episode 82: Vince McMahon Signs a Contract in Steve Austin's Blood!

July 19th, 1999: Vince McMahon decides to shake things up a bit by pitting Corporate Ministry members The Undertaker and Triple-H against each other, with the winner facing Steve Austin for the WWF Title this Sunday at "Fully Loaded." And speaking of "Stone Cold," he arrives in a very unusual vehicle and vows to extract some blood from Vince's skull before the night is over! The Rock squares off with reigning King of the Ring Billy Gunn, who has been on a bit of a losing streak lately. The Big Show & Hardcore Holly face X-Pac & Kane, with the highlight being a post-match moment where "The Big Red Machine" decides whether or not to join up with his brother. Shane McMahon pledges to apologize to his sister Stephanie after accidentally elbowing her in the face last week.... but instead, he ends up blaming Test. And later on, the aforementioned Test steps into the ring with Steve Blackman. "The Road Dogg" Jesse James is slated to face Chyna in a Dogg Pound Match, where both competitors are forced to wear dog collars around their necks. The Hardy Boyz put their WWF Tag Team Titles on the line in a four-team Elimination Match which also features The Godfather & Val Venis, The Acolytes, and Droz & Prince Albert. Jeff Jarrett defends his WWF Intercontinental Title against Christian, who has somehow become the #1 contender. In your Random Match of the Week, Edge & D'Lo Brown team up to face the unusual pair of Gangrel & Mideon. The Big Boss Man is scheduled to face Al Snow, who has now gone even crazier since his beloved Head has been desecrated. Plus, GTV heads to Hollywood to eavesdrop on Ben Stiller and the cast of "Mystery Men!"

Meanwhile over on "Nitro," they give away Hulk Hogan vs. Sid on free TV, The Insane Clown Posse make their debut, and Shane Douglas returns after a six-year absence! And if that wasn't enough for you, the stars of WCW also make an appearance on the HBO sitcom "Arli$$!"

Episode 84: "Fully Loaded 1999" / "Raw" Mega-Episode! (w/Sal from The Rundown)

August 2nd, 1999: WWF Champion "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is scheduled to face The Undertaker in a No Holds Barred Match for the title tonight.... but new #1 contender Triple-H may have something to say about that. And speaking of The Undertaker, he has enlisted The Big Show as his new tag team partner, and they team up to face Kane & "The Road Dogg" Jesse James. We get a promo duel between The Rock and Billy Gunn, which somehow features a large woman's naked ass on the TitanTron for an uncomfortably long period of time. With Vince McMahon officially gone from The WWF, his son Shane takes it upon himself to disband The Corporate Ministry. However, Shane may have bigger things to worry about now that his sister's boyfriend Test is swearing vengeance on "The Boy Wonder" and The Mean Street Posse. And to prove how serious he is, Test proceeds to beat the living crap out of Rodney. We get a rare Title vs. Title Match as Jeff Jarrett puts his Intercontinental Title on the line against European Champion D'Lo Brown, and the winner takes all! Edge faces Gangrel in a Bloodbath Match -- but whose side is Christian on? The Big Boss Man puts his Hardcore Title on the line against his former Corporate Ministry stablemate Viscera. Val Venis steps into the ring with Steve Blackman.... until Ken Shamrock proceeds to extract some revenge on "The Lethal Weapon."

Plus, Hardcore Holly continues his one-man war against The Acolytes, The Nitro Girls get their own pay-per-view, and The Millennium Countdown has only seven days left!

Episode 85: Shane McMahon Disbands The Corporate Ministry!

August 9th, 1999: The Rock has been tormented by The Big Show lately, so he issues a challenge to the big man for a match later on tonight (while hilariously mocking him in the process). But before that match can occur..... The Millennium Countdown clock expires, and we get the WWF debut of one of the greatest wrestlers of all-time! Acting Governor of Minnesota Jesse "The Body" Ventura returns to The WWF for the first time in nine years, and he books tonight's main event: WWF Champion "Stone Cold" Steve Austin vs. The Undertaker vs. Triple-H! However, when someone ambushes "Stone Cold" backstage, Commissioner Shawn Michaels changes the bout to a #1 Contendership Match, and he inserts a surprising replacement: Chyna! The Acolytes put their WWF Tag Team Titles on the line against the resurgent team of X-Pac & Kane. Val Venis goes one-on-one with Jeff Jarrett, who continues to be displeased with Debra. WWF Hardcore Champion The Big Boss Man faces "The Road Dogg" Jesse James in a Hardcore Match...... where the title is somehow not on the line. Steve Blackman & Joey Abs square off with the formidable team of Ken Shamrock & Test. Christian steps into the ring with Gangrel, who appears to have some new friends on his side.

Plus, The Rock shows up on MTV in order to make fun of Carson Daly, Billy Gunn's masseuse sabotages his glorious ass, and Kane speaks his first words without the assistance of his voicebox!

Meanwhile over on "Nitro," WCW tries to counter tonight's massive episode of "Raw" with a big moment of their own: red-and-yellow Hulk Hogan returns after more than a three-year absence!

Episode 86: The Debut of Chris Jericho!

February 21st, 1998: Special guest Adam from The Rundown Wrestling Podcast swings by to discuss a rare Saturday episode of "Raw" and the results of the "No Way Out of Texas" pay-per-view. Chyna is threatening to sue Steve Austin for his recent actions, but "Stone Cold" does not seem to be very remorseful. Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie take on Marc Mero and The Artist Formerly Known As Goldust in the main event as the rivalry between Sable and Luna escalates. Owen Hart defends his European Title against Jeff Jarrett in a match which is actually quite enjoyable. The Rock attempts to soothe things over with his Nation of Domination pals by presenting them with gifts, and an irritated Faarooq then squares off with the undefeated Steve Blackman. The slumping Legion of Doom go up against The Quebecers while WWF Tag Team Champions The New Age Outlaws look to cause more mischief. Ken Shamrock battles Sniper as The Truth Commission continues to squabble internally. NWA Tag Team Champions The Rock 'n Roll Express put their belts on the line against The Headbangers in a match which is contested under NWA rules. Taka Michinoku and Aguila battle Brian Christopher and Pirata Morgan (and yes, he is a wrestling pirate). Plus, Michael P.S. Hayes (or is it Dok Hendrix?) returns to his home state in order to act as a guest ring announcer, but things do not exactly go as planned for the recent WWE Hall of Fame inductee.

Episode 9: The Rock Buys Expensive Presents! (w/Adam from The Rundown Wrestling Podcast)

May 25th, 1998: It's the go-home show before "Over the Edge," and New Blood Rising Podcast host William Renken is joining us to discuss one of his all-time favorite "Raw" moments! Vince McMahon and The Stooges got the upper hand on Steve Austin last week, but "Stone Cold" turns the tables on The Corporation by having the three of them arrested! Later on, Vince seeks to get a measure of revenge by booking Austin in a match against The Undertaker. We awesomely get The Rock and Triple-H going head-to-head on free TV, but Hunter must first complete one more mission in DX's war against WCW. The Disciples of Apocalypse take on L.O.D. 2000 and a debuting mystery partner who has a rather unique talent. The Jackyl introduces us to his new stable of "human oddities," consisting of several bizarre wrestlers and a few members of Howard Stern's Wack Pack. Owen Hart takes on Dan "The Beast" Severn in a match which should have been given a full hour of TV time. Jeff Jarrett squares off with Vader, who Jim Ross unnecessarily mocks on commentary for being overweight. Taka Michinoku battles Kaientai member Dick Togo in a fast-paced, enjoyable match. Faarooq goes one-on-one against Marc Mero, who is still forcing Sable to remain in his corner. Plus, Al Snow continues to seek a meeting with Vince McMahon, Edge's vignettes are getting weirder, and Henry presents a special Top Ten List!

Episode 23: Vince McMahon Gets Arrested! (w/William Renken from The New Blood Rising Podcast)

June 22nd, 1998: It's the go-home show before the incredible "King of the Ring 1998," but matches and stipulations are still being added! Vince McMahon tells us that the WWF Title match between "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Kane will be a First Blood Match, and Kane then speaks for the first time in 20 years to announce what he will do to himself if he loses. Later, Kane takes on "Road Dogg" Jesse James while his tag team partner Mankind squares off with Billy Gunn. After seven straight weeks of bizarre vignettes, Edge finally debuts on "Raw" against Los Boricuas member Jose Estrada............ but the match does not quite go as planned. The King of the Ring tournament continues with four quarterfinal matches: Ken Shamrock vs. Mark Henry, Jeff Jarrett vs. Marc Mero, Owen Hart vs. Dan "The Beast" Severn, and (awesomely) The Rock vs. Triple-H! An injured Paul Bearer is interviewed live via satellite from his house, but his own home may not even be a safe enough sanctuary to protect him from the wrath of The Undertaker. X-Pac goes one-on-one with Dustin Runnels in a match where the heel and face roles appear to be reversed. Jerry "The King" Lawler may finally be willing to grant Al Snow a meeting with Vince McMahon, but Al and Head will first need to defeat a tag team of Lawler's choosing at "King of the Ring."

Plus, Sable has apparently been given some sort of executive position within the WWF and Mick Foley reminds us all of the fact that he used to be amazing at cutting promos.

Meanwhile over on "Nitro," WCW is bringing in NBA and NFL stars to help them try and compete with "Raw."

Episode 27: Kane Speaks For The First Time & Edge Debuts!

June 28th / 29th, 1998: So many noteworthy moments happened at "King of the Ring 1998" and the "Raw" afterwards that we had to have Adam from The Rundown Wrestling Podcast join the show to help break it all down!

"King of the Ring 1998" Card:
WWF Champion "Stone Cold" Steve Austin vs. Kane in a First Blood Match (if Kane loses, he must set himself on fire)
The Undertaker vs. Mankind in a Hell in a Cell Match (we go in-depth on this one!)
Ken Shamrock vs. Jeff Jarrett / The Rock vs. Dan Severn, with the winners facing each other in the finals of the King of the Ring tournament
WWF Tag Team Champions The New Age Outlaws vs. The New Midnight Express
Owen Hart vs. X-Pac
Al Snow & Head vs. Too Much w/special guest referee Jerry "The King" Lawler (if Al wins he gets a meeting with Vince McMahon, but if he loses he is gone from the WWF)
The Headbangers & Taka Michinoku vs. Kaientai

June 29th, 1998 "Monday Night Raw":
With last night's First Blood Match ending in suspicious circumstances, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin requests a rematch against Kane for the WWF Title...... and The Big Red Machine surprisingly accepts!
The WWF debuts a brand new, ill-advised tournament of legitimate fights called The Brawl For All, and our first two contests are Steve Blackman vs. Marc Mero and Bradshaw vs. Mark Canterbury.
We get a Triple Threat "King of Kings Match" between reigning King of the Ring Ken Shamrock and former Kings of the Ring Triple-H and Owen Hart (spoiler: despite it being called "King of Kings," the winner of the match may not be who you think!).
Darren Drozdov goes one-on-one against a man making his WWF debut: Steven Regal!
L.O.D. 2000 seek to reverse their losing streak by bringing back their long-time manager "Precious" Paul Ellering, but their mentor has an unexpected surprise for them.
Val Venis takes on Kaientai member Dick Togo, although Val appears to be more interested in Yamaguchi-San's wife.
Plus, Vince McMahon gives a warning to The Undertaker, Dustin Runnels continues to preach the word of God, and Sable refuses to tell us about her new role in the company.

Episode 28: "King of the Ring 1998" / "Raw" Mega-Episode! (w/Adam from The Rundown)

July 13th, 1998: With the WWF officially on The Highway To Hell, we had to bring in Lee Carlos Cunningham from The Raw Is Nitro Podcast to help break down one of his all-time favorite periods in wrestling! The Undertaker is now the #1 contender for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's WWF Title, but seemingly everyone wants to know one thing: are The Undertaker and Kane in cahoots with each other? As for Kane, he teams with Mankind to take on The New Age Outlaws in a match for the WWF Tag Team Titles. After being off television for the past three-and-a-half months, Shawn Michaels surprisingly returns and proceeds to use some naughty language on commentary. Nation of Domination co-leaders The Rock & Owen Hart team up to take on DX members Triple-H & X-Pac. The Brawl For All somehow continues with two more match-ups: Dan "The Beast" Severn vs. The Godfather and Bart Gunn vs. Bob Holly. In six-man tag team action, Taka Michinoku aligns with Too Much to battle Kaientai, but Val Venis makes his presence felt by providing a special surprise for Yamaguchi-San. Marc Mero goes one-on-one against Steve Blackman, although the Sable / Jacqueline rivalry overshadows them both. Plus, Jason Sensation joins the announce team to share some more wrestling impersonations with the world, but that may prove to be a mistake on his part.

Episode 30: The Return of Shawn Michaels! (w/Lee Carlos Cunningham from The Raw Is Nitro Podcast)

August 30th / September 5th, 1998: The Highway To Hell stops here because it is finally time for "SummerSlam 1998!" And for a pay-per-view this massive, we needed to enlist a special guest: New Blood Rising Podcast host William Renken! What happens at "SummerSlam" and the following Saturday night episode of "Raw"?

Jeff Jarrett vs. X-Pac in a Hair vs. Hair Match
Marc Mero & Jacqueline vs. Sable & a mystery partner
The Oddities vs. Kaientai

September 5th, 1998 "Saturday Night Raw":
Vince McMahon comes up with an evil scheme to get the WWF Title taken off his arch-nemesis, and that plan apparently includes making The Undertaker and Kane incredibly angry throughout the entire night.
The New Age Outlaws defend their newly-won Tag Team Titles against The Rock & Mark Henry, but Chyna seeks to make The Nation pay for their actions last week on "Raw."
D'Lo Brown puts his European Title on the line against X-Pac in a precursor to what will become a pretty solid feud throughout the fall of 1998.
In a match which somehow main events this show, the new-look Jeff Jarrett goes head-to-head with Scorpio.
Val Venis squares off with Vader because you can never have too many V's.
The Oddities go up against L.O.D. 2000 and Droz, but Hawk's personal demons continue to plague him.
Ken Shamrock & Steve Blackman have apparently patched up their differences, so they unite to face The Disciples of Apocalypse.
Edge takes on Marc Mero while the commentators continue to speculate about Edge's past with Gangrel.
Southern Justice do battle with The Headbangers because these are apparently two of the strongest tag teams on the roster at the moment.
Too Much and Los Boricuas have a match, but the most noteworthy aspect of it is the fact that Jesus Castillo is wearing atrocious dad jeans.
Tiger Ali Singh continues his humiliation of greedy Americans by having a sardine-chomping Babu make out with a young woman from the crowd.
Plus, Al Snow gets a sitdown interview with Jim Ross despite the fact that he and Head are supposed to be gone from the company.

Episode 37: "SummerSlam 1998" / "Raw" Mega-Episode! (w/William Renken from New Blood Rising Podcast)

October 5th, 1998: It's a wild night in the WWF, and Bill from Tooning Japanese is joining the Podcast to discuss all of the craziness! After having his leg broken by The Brothers of Destruction last week, Vince McMahon is now confined to a hospital bed where he receives several unwelcome visitors. In particular, one of his guests introduces us to a new character, who goes on to become the most popular sock-puppet in wrestling history. In a stellar main event, The Undertaker steps into the ring with The Rock while Kane looks on nearby. "The Big Red Machine" also has a match of his own tonight as he does battle with the no-longer-fan-friendly Ken Shamrock. X-Pac defends his European Title against D'Lo Brown in a rematch from two weeks ago. Mark Henry squares off with "The Road Dogg" Jesse James, who has seemingly replaced his partner Billy Gunn with an inflatable sex doll. Owen Hart is scheduled to wrestle Edge, but "The Black Hart" appears to be too distraught to compete after injuring Dan Severn last week. Val Venis does battle with Gangrel, and then "The Big Valbowski" receives an invitation to Goldust's "world premiere" next week on "Raw." Marc Mero goes one-on-one with Vader in what sadly turns out to be the final televised match of "The Mastodon's" disappointing WWF career. The Headbangers call out The Insane Clown Posse and, when the clowns show up, Mosh and Thrasher proceed to give them a pretty brutal beating, complete with unprotected chair-shots to their painted skulls. Al Snow takes on Jeff Jarrett while Snow's nemesis Commissioner Slaughter makes his presence felt outside of the ring.

Plus, Mark Henry sues Chyna for sexual harassment, Steven Regal continues to be manly, and we find out that the mysterious man accompanying Gangrel is Edge's brother Christian!

Meanwhile over on "Nitro," we get one of the dumbest segments in wrestling history as Hulk Hogan hallucinates and sees The Warrior in a mirror..... but the viewers at home can see him too.

Episode 42: "Stone Cold" Attacks Vince McMahon in the Hospital! (w/Bill from Tooning Japanese)

October 19th, 1998: Last night at "Judgment Day," Vince McMahon fired "Stone Cold" Steve Austin for refusing to award the WWF Title to a new champion. Tonight on "Raw," Austin seeks to get revenge on the chairman by taking him hostage and seemingly threatening to murder him on live television! The Undertaker reunites with Paul Bearer to form what he calls his Ministry of Darkness, and Bearer proceeds to tell Kane that he has no use for him anymore. "The Big Red Machine" then responds by challenging his older brother to a Casket Match tonight on "Raw!" With The Nation of Domination having shockingly broken up last week, The Rock steps into the ring with his former stablemate D'Lo Brown. New WWF Intercontinental Champion Ken Shamrock faces new WWF European Champion X-Pac as Chyna looks on.... until police officers show up to arrest her. Mankind squares off with Val Venis, and "The Big Valbowski" later appears to have a falling out with Terri Runnels over some sort of secret she tells him. Steve Blackman goes up against Jeff Jarrett, who now has a new valet in his corner: Debra McMichael! The Headbangers step into the ring with Animal & Droz while L.O.D.'s "alternate" Hawk provides support from ringside.

Plus, a WWF Title tournament is announced for "Survivor Series," The Blue Blazer makes his presence felt once again, and Tiger Ali Singh challenges a fan to swallow an entire kielbasa!

Episode 48: "Survivor Series 1998" / "Raw" Mega-Episode! (w/Lee Carlos Cunningham from Raw Is Nitro)

November 30th, 1998: "Stone Cold" Steve Austin wants payback on The Undertaker for his actions over the past few weeks, and he enlists an unlikely ally to help him do it. Unfortunately for Paul Bearer, this results in him being thrown into a very undesirable location. Chyna agrees to go on a date with Mark Henry in order to get him to drop his sexual harassment lawsuit against her, but is "The Ninth Wonder of the World" actually warming up to Mark's advances? In a non-title match, WWF Champion The Rock goes one-on-one with Al Snow because he only steps into the ring with the best of the best. Mankind is forced to defend his coveted Hardcore Title against The Big Boss Man in what is only the sixth ever Ladder Match in WWF history. After last week's swerve, X-Pac calls out new WWF Commissioner Shawn Michaels, which results in HBK forcing him to defend his European Title tonight against Ken Shamrock. Gangrel & Edge team up to take on Tag Team Champions The New Age Outlaws, who are still being recruited to join The Corporation. Goldust steps into the ring with Jeff Jarrett as the "retired" Owen Hart looks on from ringside. A disgruntled Marc Mero puts his career on the line against -- of all people -- Duane Gill, but the Light Heavyweight Champion has some back-up in the form of a debuting weirdo from ECW. Val Venis takes on Tiger Ali Singh in a match which ends up being horrendously overbooked despite the fact that it only lasts for about three minutes. Shane McMahon forces WWF Women's Champion Sable to return to her roots and model WWF merchandise, and this particular product is rather unusual.

Plus, a popular wrestler makes a surprise return, The Blue Blazer unmasks himself, and a 22-year-old Stephanie McMahon makes a random appearance backstage!

Meanwhile over in WCW, Hulk Hogan retires from wrestling just a month before "Starrcade" in order to run for President of the United States.

Episode 50: Mark Henry & Chyna Go On A Date!

December 7th, 1998: It’s been a crazy couple of days in the WWF, and Adam from NitroMania is joining the show to break down all of the events! We take a quick detour into the surprisingly eventful UK-only “Capital Carnage” pay-per-view, where Jim Ross unfortunately suffers a personal tragedy, Vince McMahon gets uncomfortably racist, and the WWF gives us its first ever instance of intentional female nudity! After that, we delve into a controversial episode of “Monday Night Raw” where The Undertaker continues to escalate his mind games against “Stone Cold” Steve Austin.  And to even further build up the rivalry, "Stone Cold" must team with Mankind to face 'Taker & The Rock in the main event. After several weeks of being courted by The Corporation, The New Age Outlaws appear to have given in to the temptation to sell out.  Commissioner Shawn Michaels then forces remaining DX members Triple-H & X-Pac to face Ken Shamrock & The Big Boss Man in an Anything Goes Match.  The Godfather & Val Venis team up once again to face a team which is making their “Monday Night Raw” debut: The Acolytes. After allegedly being away from wrestling for the past two months, Owen Hart “comes out of retirement” to face Goldust. With Chyna looking on, Mark Henry squares off with Droz.... but whose side is "The Ninth Wonder of the World" on? Gangrel & Edge face The Headbangers in a short match which somehow ends up being completely overbooked. D’Lo Brown takes on 2018 WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett in a heel vs. heel match-up. Steve Blackman goes one-on-one with Tiger Ali Singh in a match which surprisingly ends up being a one-sided squash.

Episode 51: The Undertaker "Crucifies" Steve Austin! (w/Adam from NitroMania)

December 13th / 14th, 1998: The WWF gives us a lousy pay-per-view followed by an awesome episode of "Raw," and Sal from WrestleMania SalVation is joining the Podcast to break it all down!

"Rock Bottom: In Your House" Card:
WWF Champion The Rock vs. Mankind
Buried Alive Match: "Stone Cold" Steve Austin vs. The Undertaker
WWF Tag Team Champions The New Age Outlaws vs. Ken Shamrock & The Big Boss Man
Striptease Match: Goldust vs. Jeff Jarrett
Steve Blackman vs. Owen Hart
The Brood vs. The J.O.B. Squad
D'Lo Brown & Mark Henry vs. Val Venis & The Godfather
The Headbangers vs. The Oddities

December 14th, 1998 "Monday Night Raw":
D-Generation-X opens the show by parodying The Corporation, which leads to Commissioner Shawn Michaels scheduling two title matches tonight: The Rock defending his WWF Championship against Triple-H, and The New Age Outlaws putting their Tag Titles on the line against Ken Shamrock & The Big Boss Man in a rematch from "Rock Bottom."
Vince and Shane McMahon reveal "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's number for the Royal Rumble match, and then we get the surprising announcement of who the second participant in the match will be.
Also, because Mankind and Kane pissed off Vince last night, The Chairman schedules them to fight each other in a No Holds Barred Match tonight on "Raw."
Goldust goes one-on-one with The Blue Blazer, but Steve Blackman ends up getting the last laugh after the match when he finally manages to unmask The Blazer!
Later on, Blackman faces Jeff Jarrett in a Guitar-on-a-Pole Match because..... Vince Russo.
J.O.B. Squad members Scorpio & Bob Holly go up against Mark Henry & D'Lo Brown, with the highlight being a pre-match promo where "Sexual Chocolate" tells us what happened on the night of his date with Chyna.
Val Venis & The Godfather step into the ring with two men who are teaming up for the very first time: Edge & Christian!
Plus, a debuting superstar joins The Corporation, The Brood vow to give someone a "bloodbath," and The Rock hilariously mocks the catchphrases of WCW wrestlers!

Episode 52: DX Impersonates The Corporation! (w/Sal from WrestleMania SalVation)

January 4th, 1999: This may be the most pivotal night in the history of The Monday Night Wars, so we needed to bring in William Renken from The New Blood Rising Podcast to help make sense of it all!

We cover both "Raw" and "Nitro" in this mega-episode, so get ready for the definitive breakdown of this monumental night of professional wrestling!

"Monday Night Raw":
Vince McMahon refuses Mankind's request to be the #1 contender for The Rock's WWF Title at the "Royal Rumble," but he does allow him to compete for a spot in the Rumble match itself.
There's just one catch -- Mankind must face Triple-H in a match where the special guest referee is the man who Mick Foley beat up a few weeks ago: Shane McMahon.
It would appear the deck is stacked against Mankind...... until he reveals that he may have some tricks up his sleeve before the night is over.
Having been fired from his commissioner position last week, Shawn Michaels sticks it to Mr. McMahon by promising to provide him with a "Stone Cold surprise" before the night is over.
Meanwhile, D-Generation-X welcomes Shawn back into the group..... but is DX really willing to forgive HBK's past transgressions?
Edge and D'Lo Brown have a very solid match until it comes to a screeching halt when the pregnant Terri Runnels suffers a devastating personal tragedy.
Goldust goes one-on-one with Mark Henry, who is frequently distracted by Chyna and her friend Sammy.
"The Road Dogg" Jesse James defends his Hardcore Title against Al Snow in a match where both men end up brawling outdoors while it's snowing!
WWF Intercontinental Champion Ken Shamrock faces Steve Blackman in a non-title match.
Kane is ordered to compete in a Handicap Match against two very reluctant participants.
The Godfather steps into the ring with Test in what is actually "The Corporate Enforcer's" first ever singles match on "Raw."
Plus, Dan "The Beast" Severn sets his sights on a familiar rival and Dennis Knight is shackled in a dungeon somewhere!

"WCW Monday Nitro":
Kevin Nash is scheduled to defend his WCW World Heavyweight Championship against Goldberg in a rematch from "Starrcade," but that match may be put in doubt when Goldberg is arrested under susupicious circumstances.
Fortunately, "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan is in the building tonight so he may be able to fill in if Goldberg is unable to compete.
Ric Flair will be in charge of WCW for the next 90 days, and he proceeds to shake things up right away with his "State of the Sport Address."
WCW Television Champion Scott Steiner defends his title against Konnan in a bout you probably not bother to watch.
Chris Jericho goes up against Perry Saturn in a match which has one of the most confusing finishes you're ever likely to see.
WCW Cruiserweight Champion Billy Kidman teams up with Rey Mysterio to face LWO members Juventud Guerrera & Psychosis in what is easily the best part of the show.
We get the dream match we never knew we wanted: Benoit vs. Hogan! (well okay, Chris Benoit is actually facing HORACE Hogan)
Bryan Clark steps into the ring with the massively popular Diamond Dallas Page.
Chavo Guerrero and Norman Smiley go head-to-head, with the highlight being Norman's incredibly inappropriate dance called "The Big Wiggle."
Wrath issues an open challenge, which ends up being accepted by a former "WrestleMania" main eventer.
Booker T quickly squashes Emory Hale because that is the only appropriate outcome for such a match.
Glacier squares off with Hugh Morrus in a battle of two depressing gimmicks.
Plus, a 12-year-old Charlotte Flair makes her first on-camera appearance, Eddie Guerrero suffers a horrendous real-life injury, and Tony Schiavone delivers a line that will unfortunately come to define his entire career!

Episode 55: "Raw" vs. "Nitro" Mega-Episode! (w/William Renken from The New Blood Rising Podcast)

January 11th, 1999: In his first promo since winning the WWF Title last week, Mankind duels on the mic with The Rock as the former champ tries to talk Mick Foley into a rematch at the "Royal Rumble." However, Mankind may not even make it that far because Vince McMahon forces him to defend his belt tonight on "Raw" against Kane. And speaking of The McMahons, Shane announces a very special main event for tonight's show: a Corporate Royal Rumble pitting members of The Corporation against members of DX, with the winner being awarded the #30 position in the Royal Rumble match. In what is likely one of the most bizarre segments in the history of the WWF/E, The Undertaker returns after a month-long absence to perform an unholy ritual on Dennis Knight. Triple-H steps into the ring with Edge in a match which we surprisingly only end up getting a handful of times over the next 12 years despite both men's lengthy tenures with the company. As a counterpunch to Tony Schiavone's "butts in seats" line from "Nitro" last week, we get introduced to the legendary character who is simply known as..... Gillberg. The New Age Outlaws face Jeff Jarrett & Owen Hart, with the winning team earning the right to become the #1 contenders for the WWF Tag Team Titles. Val Venis sets his sights on a lovely young woman in the crowd, but he gets more than he bargained for when it turns out that he's attempting to seduce the sister of a fellow wrestler. Because D'Lo Brown was somewhat responsible for causing her miscarriage last week, Terri Runnels forces D'Lo to fight his own best friend: Mark Henry. X-Pac puts his European Title on the line against the newly Head-less Al Snow. Plus, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin continues to wreak havoc, Chyna's friend Sammy is still hanging around, and Shane helps Vince train for the Royal Rumble by having him chase a chicken in the snow!

Meanwhile over on "Nitro," WCW follows up their "Fingerpoke of Doom" episode with three hours of television that are somehow even worse than last week's show!

Episode 56: The Undertaker Sacrifices Dennis Knight!

February 13th, 1999: In what is STILL the biggest crowd ever for an episode of "Raw," the WWF packs over 41,000 fans into The SkyDome for a special Saturday night episode! Vince McMahon orders WWF Champion Mankind to face "Stone Cold" Steve Austin in a non-title match, but those plans may change by the end of the night. For some reason, The Rock has a match with, of all people, Steve Blackman. X-Pac faces a daunting challenge when he is ordered to compete against Corporate Kane. The Ken Shamrock/Val Venis feud continues to escalate, which results in a special guest referee being appointed for their match at "St. Valentine's Day Massacre." Al Snow calls out "The Road Dogg" but, when he doesn't answer the challenge, Al then proceeds to have a Hardcore Match.... against himself. Jeff Jarrett goes one-on-one with D'Lo Brown, who introduces us to a brand new female wrestler. Viscera squares off with The Godfather in what is sure to be a five-star classic. Goldust steps into the ring with Gillberg in a match which has a rather surprising result. Plus, we get the famous visual of Vince yelling in "Stone Cold's" face, Darren Drozdov beats up an announcer, and Earl Hebner suffers the wrath of some unforgiving Canadian fans!

Meanwhile over on "Nitro," we get roughly 800 vignettes, including the revelation that Raven is actually a spoiled rich kid!

And speaking of Mr. McMahon, "Stone Cold" may have gotten the better of him last night, but the chairman has another trick up his sleeve when he appoints a special guest referee for the main event of "WrestleMania": new WWF signee Paul Wight!
Triple-H & X-Pac face the team of Kane & Shane McMahon in a tag match with a rather interesting stipulation: X-Pac's European Title is on the line.
Val Venis puts his newly-won Intercontinental Title on the line against Billy Gunn, and "The Big Valbowski" has some unfortunate news for Ryan Shamrock after the match concludes.
Kevin Kelly conducts an interview with WWF Women's Champion Sable, who appears to have a bit of a new attitude.
Corporation members The Big Boss Man, Test, and Ken Shamrock face Ministry of Darkness members The Acolytes & Mideon in a six-man tag team match which ends up being overshadowed by The Undertaker's new plot to take over the WWF.
Bob Holly defends his Hardcore Title against Steve Blackman, but then he receives a surprise after the match when a former tag team partner returns after a six-month absence.
Jeff Jarrett & Debra team up to face D'Lo Brown & Ivory in an intergender tag team match.

Episode 61: "St. Valentine's Day Massacre" / "Raw" Mega-Episode! (w/Adam from NitroMania)

March 15th, 1999: The Rock and "The Big Show" Paul Wight are still at odds, so Vince McMahon comes up with an idea: have them team up tonight to face the team of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Mankind. And speaking of Mr. McMahon, The Undertaker continues to torment him by showing up at his home in Connecticut to threaten his family. And later, The Big Boss Man steps into a steel cage for a "Hard Times Match" against Mideon, who ends up paying the price for The Undertaker's antics. Triple-H and Corporate Kane continue their feud by brawling with each other around ringside.... until the segment ends with a shocking result. Both members of The New Age Outlaws get chances at singles titles as "The Road Dogg" Jesse James faces WWF Intercontinental Champion Val Venis while Billy Gunn goes one-on-one with WWF Hardcore Champion Hardcore Holly. WWF European Champion Shane McMahon requests a Handicap Match against a legendary tag team, but things may not be what they seem. WWF Tag Team Champions Jeff Jarrett & Owen Hart defend their titles against Public Enemy, a team that is apparently no longer wanted in the company. While shilling her new issue of Playboy, Sable gets interrupted by Tori, which leads to one of the worst promos in wrestling history. Plus, fans in the arena get deafened by buzzsaws as a team of carpenters builds a special structure for Jim Ross while the show is going on!

After kidnapping Stephanie McMahon last night, The Undertaker is forcing Vince McMahon to sign over control of the WWF in order to get her back. But before that can happen, it appears that 'Taker has some plans of his own for Stephanie: marrying her against her will in front of the world!
Because The Rock was unsuccessful at regaining the WWF Championship last night, Shane McMahon proceeds to fire him from The Corporation... so Rock challenges him to a match tonight!

Episode 75: "Over The Edge 1999" / "Raw Is Owen"

May 31st, 1999: New WWF Champion The Undertaker vows to introduce "Stone Cold" Steve Austin to The Higher Power tonight on "Raw." But before he can do that, Vince McMahon challenges 'Taker to a match with an interesting stipulation: Austin gets a title shot tonight if Vince wins, but "Stone Cold" will never be able to challenge for the title again if Vince loses. Mankind and Triple-H go head-to-head in a Hardcore Match, which results in one of them being badly injured. The Godfather was scheduled to defend his Intercontinental Title against Owen Hart at "Over The Edge," but instead tonight he will defend it against Owen's former tag team partner Jeff Jarrett. WWF Tag Team Champions X-Pac & Kane put their belts on the line against The Acolytes. After weeks of vignettes, Beaver Cleavage finally steps into the ring for the first (and only!) time. And speaking of vignettes, we get the first ever appearance of the hidden camera segment known as GTV.... and it's not pretty. "The Road Dogg" Jesse James squares off with The Big Boss Man, who appears to have developed a bit of a mean streak. Ken Shamrock steps into the ring with Val Venis, who is accompanied by his new fling Nicole Bass. Billy Gunn goes one-on-one with Union member The Big Show (and yes, The Union is still a thing).

Plus, the WWF sends a camera crew to Owen Hart's funeral because.... your guess is as good as mine.

Episode 76: The Higher Power Appears & GTV Debuts!

June 7th, 1999: It's truly a monumental night in the WWF, and Adam from NitroMania is here to provide some insight! The time has finally come for the revelation of The Higher Power -- who could it be?! Well, unfortunately for The Higher Power, he immediately gets upstaged by "Stone Cold" Steve Austin... who gets appointed as the new CEO of the company! The Rock and Triple-H go head-to-head in the first-ever Cast Match, where Rock is wearing a cast on his arm and Hunter must wear one on his leg. The Union is given a blank check to face whomever they want: Big Show wisely chooses a title match, Ken Shamrock wants a Lion's Den Match with an unlikely opponent, and Test gives a rather surprising answer. Shane McMahon is ordered to face X-Pac & Kane in a Handicap Match, but some old friends of "The Boy Wonder" apparently still have his back. Billy Gunn (who is apparently just going by "Mr. Ass" now) squares off with The Godfather, who is accompanied by a very scantily-clad Ho Train. The Acolytes defend their WWF Tag Team Titles against Brood members Edge & Gangrel while The Hardy Boyz and Michael P.S. Hayes look on from ringside. Al Snow puts his WWF Hardcore Title on the line against Droz in a match where both men amusingly make their way into the nearby sports bar. WWF Women's Champion Debra faces Nicole Bass in a Bikini Contest because, ya know, Attitude Era.

Plus, GTV invades PMS's locker room, and we make our pitches for who The Higher Power should have been!

Meanwhile over on "Nitro," WCW begins a mystery storyline of their own when someone driving a white Hummer attempts to murder Kevin Nash!

Episode 77: The Higher Power Is Revealed! (w/Adam from NitroMania & The AEW Rundown)

June 14th, 1999: After being appointed as the CEO of the company last week, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin heads to WWF Headquarters and institutes some very interesting changes. Meanwhile back in the arena, Vince and Shane McMahon contemplate what the stipulation for their "King of the Ring" match should be, so they make several stipulation matches tonight on "Raw." The Rock challenges The Undertaker to a title match at "King of the Ring," but he will first have to beat 'Taker in a non-title match tonight.... and possibly someone else as well. Pat Patterson & Gerald Brisco disagree with Vince's authoritarian tactics, so the chairman forces them to compete in a match against Mideon & Viscera. Because he took Stephanie McMahon out on a date last week, Test is ordered to face The Big Boss Man in a Blind Date Match, where Test must wear a blindfold. WWF Tag Team Champions The Acolytes defend their titles in a Handicap Match against Kane (yes, you read that correctly). "The Road Dogg" Jesse James squares off with his former tag team partner "Mr. Ass" in a Dogg Pound Match where both men are joined at the neck by a dog collar. In a non-title match, WWF Intercontinental Champion Jeff Jarrett faces Ken Shamrock in a Straitjacket Match where only Shamrock has to wrestle in a straitjacket. X-Pac is scheduled to face The Big Show in a David vs. Goliath Match, but the big man seemingly wants no part of it. Debra defends her WWF Women's Title against Ivory, who is somehow in line for a title shot even though she hasn't wrestled on "Raw" in months. Plus, GTV captures yet another embarrassing backstage moment!

Meanwhile in WCW, a big-name wrestler returns to the company after a six-year absence and Sable shocks the world by appearing on "Nitro!"

Episode 78: CEO "Stone Cold" Heads To The Boardroom!

June 21st, 1999: New CEO "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and The McMahons are at odds with each other, so someone needs to step in to restore order.... and thankfully, Commissioner Shawn Michaels is in town. HBK books "Stone Cold" vs. The Big Boss Man and, if Austin wins, there will be no Corporate Ministry interference allowed in the Ladder Match at "King of the Ring." Regarding Vince & Shane, they'll get a tune-up match tonight against their former stooges Pat Patterson & Gerald Brisco. And as for The Corporate Ministry, Commissioner Michaels attempts to make sure that the top two members of that faction will remain at odds with each other when he orders WWF Champion The Undertaker to defend his title tonight against Triple-H! In a dream match you never knew you wanted, The Rock steps into the ring with Edge. Jeff Jarrett is ordered to defend his WWF Intercontinental Title against Ken Shamrock and Test in a Triple Threat Match. WWF Tag Team Champions The Acolytes team up with "Mr. Ass" to face "The Road Dogg," X-Pac, and Kane in a six-man tag team match where the tag titles are somehow on the line. The Big Show faces Hardcore Holly in a Hardcore Match which ends with the big man attempting to crush Holly with a car! Val Venis is scheduled to face Prince Albert, but the match takes an interesting turn before it can even begin. Mark Henry and Viscera square off in a Body Slam Challenge, which is unfortunately referred to as a "Gorilla Slam Match." GTV continues to catch people in embarrassing situations backstage, and this week it's Al Snow's turn.

Plus, we get the return of someone who hasn't been on "Raw" in three months, Beaver Cleavage can no longer take it anymore, and is it really true that a member of The Mean Street Posse pinned "Stone Cold"?!

Meanwhile over on "Nitro," Master P yells the phrase "hootie hoo" 1,000 times!
